A UN commission played a crucial role in bridging political differences, drafting a constitution, establishing a provisional government, creating a unified financial system, and training civil servants, according to Eastleigh Voice. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to prevent conflict and promote peace.

Political stakeholders, leaders and international community members in Dar es Salaam stressed dialogue, reconciliation and inclusive engagement as essential to strengthening democracy, rebuilding public trust and preserving peace after Tanzania's 2025 General Election. The calls came at the opening of a two-day national conference organised by the Tanzania Centre for Democracy (TCD), according to Daily News.

The Sudanese army has intensified its offensive to retake the strategic city of Kurmuk, located on the border with Ethiopia. This military action follows months of operations in Sudan's Blue Nile region, which escalated after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied militia, the SPLM-N, captured Kurmuk in March 2026. There are growing concerns about the potential spillover of the conflict into neighboring Ethiopia.

In Sudan, the decision of some Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters to switch allegiance and join the national army has sparked anger and instability among citizens. Many are upset, arguing that RSF commanders who have made this move will evade legal accountability for their past actions, which include violence against civilians and even killings. Last month, RSF commander Ali Rizkallah was welcomed in Khartoum and promoted within the Sudanese army despite his controversial history.

The 2019 revolution in Sudan, which sought to establish civilian rule, has been overshadowed by the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces that began in April 2023. Music played a pivotal role in the protests, with the sit-in outside military headquarters in Khartoum being described as Sudan's largest arts festival, highlighting the cultural significance of the movement according to The Conversation Africa.

Sudan has been experiencing ongoing conflict since 2023, following the outbreak of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. According to Eastleigh Voice, the people in El Obeid are facing continuous drone strikes as a result of this war.
